=== Morgan directorship === After ongoing disputes with the [[Department of Health (1921β1987)|Department of Health]] and its director-general [[John Cumpston]], Penfold resigned in 1927 and was replaced by Frederic Morgan.<ref>{{Citation|last=Egan|first=Bryan|title=Morgan, Frederick Grantley (1891β1969)|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/morgan-frederick-grantley-11164|work=Australian Dictionary of Biography|place=Canberra|publisher=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University|access-date=2020-09-22}}</ref> Soon after Morgan's appointment, CSL was drawn into a serious public health disaster when a batch of its [[diphtheria]] toxin-antitoxin was implicated in the deaths of twelve children in what became known as the [[Bundaberg tragedy]] of 1928. Although CSL's manufacturing processes were absolved, its labelling procedures were seen to be in error, leading to an enduring focus on the highest standards across the facility's production.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article195229589|title=BUNDABERG TRAGEDY, Daily Examiner|date=14 June 1928|pages=3|via=Trove}}</ref>
